This week in the impeachment proceedings in the House of Representatives, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, released his report on the inquiry to date. The report included records of telephone calls of President Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, and another man, Lev Parnas, who was reportedly assisting Giuliani in his investigation of alleged activities in Ukraine or by Ukrainians to interfere in the 2016 election. These records included calls allegedly with Devin Nunes, R-Calif., the ranking minority member on the Intelligence Committee, and John Solomon, a prominent journalist.
Americans began querying how Schiff could have obtained the phone call records for the report.
This is very disturbing, especially when you put people like Adam Schiff in positions of authority. They will ALWAYS abuse that power, it is a given.

Wouldn't the below statement apply to all of those 30K of Hillary's emails?
However, vast federal government reach into electronic communications doesn’t stop there. Note that the ECPA deems all emails more than 180 days old and stored on an electronic server to be “abandoned.” That determination is important because under Fourth Amendment law, any “abandoned” property doesn’t require a warrant for the government to obtain it.

Thanks for posting this, OP....it's a very timely reminder that absolutely ALL of our email CONTENT is ripe for the picking!! (At least phone call CONTENT is not so easily obtained.)
Sounds like Nunes/Guiliani/Solomon might have the legal standing to challenge the SCOTUS Smith v. Maryland ruling. (Right about the time we replace RBG would be good!)

I have warned people for my whole life not to say anything on a phone, or write anything in an email that they would be uncomfortable have read back to them in a court of law.
It would be nice if the was some privacy, but the governing thugs are unlikely to permit it, or follow the laws if we pass them.

Well I guess its okeydokey because there's nothing in the constitution about email or phones.

Agree with other posters; why wasn't that request made for Felonia Von Pantssuit's records?

In case you missed this, FTA --
"Courts readily conclude there is no attorney-client privileged information in phone call log information, and in any event, no federal court has yet held that Congress must respect the attorney-client privilege in a challenge to a congressional subpoena, because attorney-client privilege is a common law rule rather than a constitutional one."

So the feds can ignore the fourth amendment if it suits their agenda? We had better wake up. I am an old man, a life member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans and a life member of the NRA so I am already on the deep state's ***t list. Apparently, they are only interested in harassing people like me but welcome terrorists like the Pensacola shooter. I'll be gone soon but I do worry about my children and grandchildren.

20 years ago we hired a (unknown to us) house sitter for our place in mexico. Turns out he had entered Mx. using a false passport. I was contacted by a US marshal who had all of my pertinent emails word for word between us while we were traveling. I didn't know they could do that. I learned anything you put in writing is forever. Unless you are democrat. Scary.

Since congress can make warrantless snooping into phone records a felony, it's another reason to get rid of demonrats in congress. What makes them above the law on everything? Worthless cretins. It's the same with the Patriot Act. It only serves to spy on us citizens, not foreigners. When has a foreigner ever been prosecuted under the Act? Never that I know of. But it was certainly used by the demonrat criminal enterprise, wasn't it?

Adam Schiff, I believe, is a RAT who firmly believes that Lenin just didn’t do Marxism right! Being pure of soul and intent; he plans to emerge as a dear leader in a Utopia (communist) Amerika! Once in power, however, Schif will find two .25 caliber projectiles Parked in his large cranium while a coup begins to put the most evil of people in charge! Hillary?
